I have a new story out on Reactor today, my first since my collection came out in 2021. It's about a teenage poet, friend breakups, and wrestling with inherited faith. There are spaceships that are massive libraries. It would make me very happy if you read and shared it! 😊

📣 New novel announcement: ANNA DREAMS OF A DEAD REVOLUTIONARY is coming from @tinhouse.bsky.social in 2028. When people ask what it's about, I say it's like SOUR CHERRY, except the haunted house is Greece, and Bluebeard is fascism. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊ Keep writing your queer, trans, antifascist books, friends.
Publishers Marketplace Deal Report dated 22 January 2026 that reads: "Author of SOUR CHERRY Natalia Theodoridou's ANNA DREAMS OF A DEAD REVOLUTIONARY, about a filmmaker attempting to memorialize his time as a transgender political rebel in 1960s Greece, cycling between screenplay, recollection, and present-day curation of letters and historical documents, pitched as a puzzle-box story of loyalty, memory, revolution, and the ghosts that haunt a nation, to Masie Cochran at Tin House Books, for publication in 2028, by Danya Kukafka at Trellis Literary Management (NA)."
